DeKalb County Juvenile Court examined the accountability of teens and their driving behaviors and determined that youth needed to take more responsibility for their actions. As a result, Traffic Court began offering a program in which teens participate for a reduced fine. There are several components to the program:
1) Youth must attend and provide certificate of completion to a Defensive Driving course
2) Youth must complete 10 hours of community service (approved by the court)
3) Youth must submit an essay on what has led them to the court process, what their experience was like, and how it will affect their future decisions.
Upon completion of the program, the youth shall have no points assessed to their license and their fine will be reduced.
